Public calls amongst top US officials to funnel weapons to the “Free
Libya” movement that is on the verge of ousting long-time dictator
Moammar Gadhafi have once again been spurned by leaders of the protest
movement, who insist that they are fully capable of liberating what
little of the nation means under regime control on their own.

Other protesters hung a massive sign from the top of a building reading “NO Foreign Intervention – Libyan People Can Manage It Alone”
and there is increasing concern that should NATO in general or the US
in particular intervene, it would attempt to hand-pick portions of the
protest movement it favors to take power.
